		At the Hill Air Force Base, Utah, meanwhile, Ogden Air Logistics Center is embarked upon a “Hog-up” program, which is designed to extend the lifespan of the A/OA-10—nicknamed the “Warthog” for its ungainly appearance—from 4,000 hours of air operations to 16,000.

	CUFOS Response to Air Force Case Closed
		Despite the seeming finality of that first report, the Air Force clearly felt the need to release a new report that discusses the claims of alien bodies that were found at a second location in New Mexico in 1947.
		The general flaw in the Air Force report is clear: if the testimony is taken at face value, then the Roswell events occurred in 1947, and the Air Force could find no explanation for tales of alien bodies from its activities in that year.
		Problem: The Air Force explains Glenn Dennis’s story about aliens by claiming that he inadvertently blundered into the base hospital when autopsies were being done on burned crewmen from an aircraft accident near the base.
